LAKE FOREST – A man suspected of choking a 28-year-old woman until she blacked out Wednesday evening was arrested Thursday on suspicion of attempted murder, felony domestic violence and making criminal threats, authorities said.

Marco Flores-Perez, 29, was taken into custody shortly before 10 a.m. after a police search that involved deputies, K-9 units and a helicopter, Orange County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Jason Keller said.

Police received a call Wednesday night about the altercation, which took place in a condominium on Orange Avenue, Keller said.

A woman who identified herself as Flores-Perez’s wife told police he punched her, threatened to kill her and choked her into unconsciousness, and then fled, Keller said.

Police set up a perimeter and searched the area for Flores-Perez, calling a helicopter and police dogs to assist, Keller said. Flores-Perez wasn’t found and the search ended.

At 6:20 a.m. Thursday, a deputy spotted the man near the condo, Keller said. The search resumed and Flores-Perez was found shortly before 10 a.m. near Orange Avenue and Whisler Drive, he said.
